Yeah, was a great event. Well organised, good course, friendly people and its was dry! What's not to like?

Did the 8hr solo and made a mere of liquid intake though, too strong an energy concentration making me feel sick so backed off and then got a slamming headache. Fully rigid SS was a bit brutal too! Live and learn.

I think I enjoyed it. I had been suffering from a bit of a bug running up to the event, but as I was pre-entered thought I may as well race anyway. It is always great to race on a dry dusty course, and the atmosphere was very friendly, with a lots of passing places on the course.

I was in the 8hr solo and did consider quitting after 2-3hrs as I just felt like I was going backwards on the fire roads. I can normally keep up a decent pace on them at Thetford, but yesterday my legs felt dead. However decided I was having too much fun riding in sun and just carried on riding, by the end I actually really started to enjoy it. Except Plum Buster that I hated every lap!
